Hi All If you’ve been brought up in Zimbabwe and had a decent education (Gifford Tech in my case!) you will probably have been taught about the wonders of our outdoor life. You should, surely, know about the Big Five wildlife believing that to see all of them is something you must do before you meet up […]

The Castrol 4×4 Jamboree 2026 was the place to be for anyone who loves engines, adventure, power, and a good dose of adrenaline. Held at Donnybrook, the event brought together 4×4 enthusiasts, families, spectators, sponsors, and some seriously impressive machines for a weekend full of action. Every climb, dip, tilt and muddy challenge had the […]

The Pomona Art Wall along Borrowdale Road is slowly becoming more than just a wall. Through conversations with both Lin Barrie and Sharon Hook, we gathered a deeper understanding of the ongoing work. With the combined efforts of Clean and Green Zimbabwe, Dulux Zimbabwe, CaliGraph, Lin Barrie, Harare SPCA, and several community partners, the space […]

Hi All I’m of the opinion that one should set aside one day of the week to do something completely different to the daily workday grind. Such a day is universally known as “The Sabbath Day” – when you switch off from the humdrum of day-to-day life. Those with deeply religious feelings will, on their […]

This past weekend, I dedicated my mornings to running 10km and walking 5km, every morning from Friday through to Sunday. Why, you might ask? Truthfully, I also wish I had a proper answer for you. By the time Sunday morning rolled around, however, it felt as though the fatigue from all three days had decided […]

HI All Five years ago, I bought a brand-new Manual, Isuzu 2.5D double cab from Autoworld – it satisfied all that I needed in a vehicle at that stage of my life – reasonable price tag, powerful, robust, and comfortable. During that time, I have traversed over 110k km driving from Mana Pools to Masvingo; […]

The event is part of the Sunshine Tour schedule. It is known for combining competitive golf with a strong social and corporate atmosphere. It also makes you […]

It’s that time again – the famous St John’s Mukuru Derby Day that is taking place right now. This year’s event started on the 27th of April and will run until the 2nd of May, featuring participation from over twenty schools. There’s certainly plenty of entertainment for everyone. Regardless of what kind of sports you […]

The May Sky There are two full moons this month. The Frost Moon is on 1 May. The Fire Moon is on 31 May, and being the second full moon in the month it is a Blue Moon. New Moon is on 16 May. Venus and Jupiter still dominate the evening sky.  Venus is very […]

If you were in Harare last Friday morning, it could be described as rather cold, at least according to my standards. The air was crisp, and there was also some light drizzle in the air. With such conditions, one would naturally require something warm to soothe themselves. This is what led me to Alfresco at […]

HI All I drove down to Gweru late last week to see a few of Softrite’ s payroll clients – I left early, so I arrived mid-morning leaving plenty of time to travel the extra 80km south to the Jabulani Safari camp a short distance east of Shangani. Jabulani Safaris is set amongst granite kopjes […]

On Sunday afternoon, I made my way to Miombo Mountain Lodge with one goal in mind: to finally experience one of their much-talked-about weekly Sunday sessions. As it turned out, the afternoon had a pleasant surprise in store. Taking the stage was the FaB Fusion Duo, a husband-and-wife pair who form the heart of the […]

HI All Way back in 1927 an Englishman, resident in Bulawayo, called Arthur Newton set the world record for 100 miles by running from Gweru to Bulawayo in 14:43 hours. He was already 44 years old and had won his second Comrades Marathon in 1924 with a time of 6.48 plus the largest ever winning […]

Slow Sunday mornings call for a good cup of coffee, a quiet corner, and a moment to just be. This past Sunday, I found exactly that at The Fridge, tucked away at 63B Ridgeway North in Highlands. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and refreshing. You have the option to sit outside and […]

As you know, each week we share the Ndeipi Weekender across our social media platforms, highlighting different events and experiences happening around town. We also make it a point to attend some of these ourselves, giving you a first-hand look at what’s worth trying. So, it was a pleasure meeting up with Chengeto and Zanele […]

HI All Bulawayo was my hometown whilst I was at university in the early 1970s, so being so close to the Matopos (now Matobo Hills), it didn’t take long for me to develop a passion for spending time out there amongst the spiritual quiet of their huge balancing rocks. Round about the same time I […]
